Rome by the Numbers
My mom’s been asking me how many churches, museums, etc., I visited while in Rome during my Speak, Pray, Cook adventure. I’ve finally finished totalling them up. Here’s my Rome trip “by the numbers.” Average miles walked by day: 6-8 … Continue reading
Speak, Pray, Cook – Day 13 (L’Ultimo Giorno – The Last Day)
If I were to write out all my thoughts from my last day in Rome, I’d have . . . well, probably I’d have a memoir! However, I’ll capture some of the basic events and photos for you now. On … Continue reading
Speak, Pray, Cook – Day 12 (Art and History)
I can’t believe I have only one full day left here in Rome! I nearly started choking up as I passed St. Peter’s on the way to school today. All I could think is, “I can’t believe I only get … Continue reading
Speak, Pray, Cook – Day 11 (The Running Russian)
Just when I thought God was telling me to slow down a bit, He sends me the “Running Russian.” Okay, so the girl doesn’t actually run, but the new Russian girl who joined our class on Monday had me doing … Continue reading
Speak, Pray, Cook – Day 10 (Sono in ritardo!)

Speak, Pray, Cook – Day 8 (Una Buona Domenica)
I can’t believe my trip is more than half over now! Since today is Sunday, my day was all about popes and churches. Before this April, I had never seen a pope in person despite three attempts to do so. … Continue reading
Speak, Pray, Cook – Day 6 (Ecumenism and Italian Jokes)
My blog title today refers to two separate things. Not that Italians are joking about ecumenism! Before I get into the two topics in the title, a quick note about my Italian classes. Since classes change just about every week … Continue reading
Speak, Pray, Cook – Day 5 (Channeling Audrey Hepburn)
I did not realize at first that there are actually several Level 2 classes and books at the school. Another student pointed out the sequence of letters and numbers under the words “Livello 2” on our books. So we’ve been … Continue reading
Speak, Pray, Cook – Day 4 (A Bus, a Train, and Two Mary’s)
Although this is my third time in Rome, I’ve only taken public transportation once before in this city. It was back in 2001 when my younger brother, my friend and I came on a tour. We arrived fairly early in … Continue reading
